I'd suggest using CUPS instead of standard lpd. (package cupsys from
unstable). This kind of stuff is done by just specifying "-o mirror"
option to the lpr command.
There is much more good to it.
Unfortunately the best part - the GUI interface and the drivers to several
hundreds of printers are commercial (I've got a multiuser package for our
department - very cool). But the generic drivers should be enough for most
of the typical situations, especially if you have a PostScript printer.

I hope at some point the CUPS is going to be THE standard.
